Club career

[edit]

Monaco

[edit]

Diarra came through the youth ranks of AS Monaco and was placed into the B team. He played his first game for the B team in October 2013, in a 2–0 win against Martigues.[3] He established himself as a regular starter for Monaco B and eventually he scored his first goal in November 2014, against Rodez.[4] Diarra made his debut for Monaco on 10 December 2015, in a UEFA Europa League game. He replaced Bernardo Silva after 65 minutes in a 4–1 away defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.[5] After his loan spell with Cercle Brugge, he continued playing for Monaco B.

Cercle Brugge (loan)

[edit]

On 31 August 2016, Diarra joined Belgian side, Cercle Brugge, on loan, until the end of the 2016–17 season.[6] He played in 15 games, including a 3–1 win against Tubize, in which Diarra scored his second ever professional goal.[7] In his last game for Cercle Brugge, Diarra was given two yellow cards and subsequently sent off as a result.[8]

Ashdod

[edit]

After spending another season with Monaco B, Diarra was sold to Israeli side, Ashdod. Diarra made no league appearance during his tenure but he was subbed on with 9 minutes remaining in a Toto Cup Ligat Al game against Hapoel Hadera.[9] He made no other appearances for Ashdod.

US Quevilly-Rouen

[edit]

After a disappointing season with Ashdod, Diarra returned to France, where he joined US Quevilly-Rouen. He played one game for Quevilly B, which was a 1–1 draw against Pacy Ménilles.[10] He made his debut for the first team a week later, in a 1–0 loss against Chambly Oise.[11] Through his two years with the National 1 outfit, Diarra made 31 league appearances, as well as three cup appearances.

Oldham

[edit]

On November 10, 2020, he signed for Oldham Athletic until June 2021.[12] He made his debut on the same day, in a 3–1 win to Bradford City.[13] In his first season, Diarra started in 16 league games and solidified his position in the team. He also partook in three cup games. Manager Harry Kewell utilised Diarra as both a midfielder and a defender throughout the season. On 12 March 2021, Oldham exercised an extension on Diarra's contract to keep him on for another season.[14] Following the club's relegation to the National League, Diarra was released at the end of the 2021–22 season.[15]

International career

[edit]

Diarra could play for the Mali National Team or the France national U-21 team. Between 2013 and 2015, Diarra has been capped, at a youth level, a total of 8 times for France. At the time, Diarra was involved in the winner squad of the World Youth Festival Toulon.[16]
